Draft Feedback - Peer

I asked a selection of my target audience the evaluation questionnaire I previously posted. 
With the questions asking whether the magazine represents the rock genre most of the answers were very positive.The magazine name of Snare is praised as it is said it 'has large connotations with the rock genre'. There were different views on my colour scheme with one person saying it contrasts well and another suggesting that darker colours are associated with the rock genre and that the colours I have used do not reflect that. One comment about my images was that 'YES (they do reflect the rock genre) because of the black clothes, graffiti and the trees reminds me of the cure's song "a forest" which had a huge influence on modern music and specifically rock and alternative today'. This demonstrates that I have met the stereotypical view of the genre with most of the elements in my magazine.   


One set of peer answers that are very insightful for analysis of the magazine:1. I like how bold it comes across with the mahooosive font
2. Rock
3. (what are plugs?) yes?! i like free cds
4. The contents seem well focused
5. YES because of the black clothes, graffiti and the trees reminds me of the cure's song "a forest" which had a huge influence on modern music and specifically rock and alternative today
6. I like how the colours contrast to the images, it makes the font stand out, so people are drawn to read the article
7. Yes! there could be more blue font on the front cover though, so that the blue is consistent throughout
8. The article is extremely well written and flows well- you believe that this was an actual interview between two people. This is why I found it very interesting and believable as an actual rock magazine article.
9. The double page spread looks very professional- the title font catches the eye and the images are well picked.
10. I'd say maybe put a few more headlines on the front but other than that it's awesome.
